Account Registration Problems

My forum has a registration problem, it says the administrators have forbidden any new members, while in the administration panel, the option in Users & Groups-Users Options-Members-Allow New Members is checked "Yes". I don't understand why. Is there another problem that can cause the same message? What do I have to change?
Also, I've been wondering if I can disable the e-mail verification system for new members. If I can, what should I change in the administration panel?
Thx for the help

Hello,

Please follow this topic to have your forum unlocked.

You can change how you get registered by going to Admin Panel // User & Groups // User Option // How to activate accounts // click what you want // Save

um... thx for the first part, but I didn't see anything called "How to activate accounts" under User Option. My administration panel is on Advanced.

Well I checked automatic activation under New Accounts Activation
It works now, thanks
